Hi, I bricked my wnr3500 v2 and I tried to make a serial console using the guide provided on the openwrt website. I got a response back when using putty however it was nonsensical. Below are the settings and response I get. I appreciate any help.

Do you use UART -> Serial conventer?

It is a USB to serial CH340 device. I usually use it for serial console.

CH340T or CH340R? You need to use CH340T to read UART(ttl)

You need TTL adapter, standard serial won't work.

The discussion might have continued from here.
